Run output tests on your instrument cluster to see if the beeper still works.

Default Ran Output Test

Ran output test and no chime. I tried different codes and no change. Could it be that the buzzer inside the cluster has died? Really strange. If I buy a used cluster, will I be able to program it to work? The buzzer is nice to have when you forget to turn off the lights. Thanks UWE.

Default Chime Update !!!

I got the nerve to remove the instrument cluster and look at the rear of the cluster where the beeper/chime sound came from. I removed the rear cover on the cluster and found a small speaker integrated to the back of the cluster circuit board. I soldered two wires to the speaker at the board and ran the wires to the fuse box area. I plugged the cluster back in and hooked up a $1.98 tiny 8hm speaker from Radio Shack at the wires at the fuse box and, WALLA!! I have a chime!!! never thought I would be so excited about a chime. Like they say, If at first you don't succeed, pull the cluster.
